It is my understanding that you wish to have RT members run an in-depth analysis of the document prior to its approval for submission to ICANN Board (along with Terms of Reference). I believe it might be helpful to identify a couple of volunteers to be your
 work plan experts to carry through the “sanity check”, and then potentially “supervise” work plan progress (in collaboration with ICANN org). This, of course, is a suggestion for your consideration.
